Sitting through long flights may be hard on the veins of your legs and thighs. Known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), it is the clotting of blood in any of the deep veins like that of the calf. DVT is accompanied by intense pain and swelling.

Walking around hourly, drinking enough water, keeping your feet elevated can help prevent it. And now you also have the benefit of Scholl's Flight Socks.

They are made with special graduated compression hosiery that helps the blood flow up the legs towards the heart by applying pressure to the legs and the veins (more at the ankle than at the knee to facilitate upward squeezing)-thus reducing the risk of DVT.
